Double Feature
Avid cinephiles among the readership have another chance to listen to the Cineaste & I talking about film on Radio Cumbria at about 10:00am GMT tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. We'll be covering current mainstream releases - as well as local independents and film clubs. And with stuff on release like Tim Burton's Corpse Bride , in which Helena Bonham-Carter gives a completely lifeless performance, expect some serious disagreement between us. If you're outside Cumbria at the time you can listen to the show live via this link (RealPlayer required).

corpse bride is a wickedly gleeful banquet of morbid invention :)..
Guile - I'm afraid I don't agree. I'm one of those people who just doesn't 'get' Burton's aesthetic - and the animation is appalling, a gawping, idiotic pardoy of human emotions that doesn't allow the viewer any emotional engagement with the characters - a pretty tough proposition when you've got 90 minutes of plot to drive . . . But I'm sure I'm in the minority.
errm . . as someone's pointed out that should 'parody of human emotions' . . .
